This family was very blessed in so many ways. They were able to say their last good-bys to their mother. They were able to take care of their Mother in such a loving way,and in a home surrounding environment. The Miracle they witnessed, let them know without a doubt,that their Mother lives on in the spirit. God moves in mysterious ways. WONDERFUL BOOK

While I don't deny the conviction in the author's voice there is something very distracting throughout this book. The grammer, punctuation and sentence structure is so poor in places that it is hard to follow the story as you would a regular book. Clearly this book is either self-published or published by a very small publishing company. No major publisher would print a book with such blatant errors. When the author is trying to make a point, the typestyle, which is much larger than necessary to begin with, often changes to all capitals. Sentences are ended with several exclamation points, I assume for effect. In reality this just comes across as BEING SHOUTED AT BY THE AUTHOR! (See what I mean?) I understand the author wanting to preserve her original feelings and impressions about the events she describes but this book would have been much more helpful if it look more polished and professional. As is, it's hard to take it seriously.

I was drawn into this story( written in the first person by the author)and could not put it down until it was finished.The book takes you through her families experience of dealing with their Mother's terminal illness, and the care and compassion they gave their mother until her death.The incredible journey they took to the other side gives me comfort that there is a wonderful place we go on to.I feel the family held their mother's spirit here, even though in their hearts they were ready to let her go. The miraculous experience she shared with them made them realize that it was time for her to cross over.This book helped me deal with my own Father's death by me giving him permission to leave and letting him know that I would be ok. I recommend this book to everyone who has or will lose someone close to them. I hope to see this book and author on Oprah!

Hi Pat

I am a Message Board Monitor for a couple of the folders in the Christianity Online Area. This means I look through every messages posted within my particular folders to make sure they fall within AOL's guidelines.

It was either July or August when you posted a message regarding your sister's book in one of the folders in the Women's Health Issues area. This message stood out to me because my Mom had just passed away on July the 5th after a two and one half year fight with breast cancer.

I went to the link you placed in there because I knew this was a book I wanted to read. I saved it on my favorite places with the intentions of buying it in the near future.

In the meantime, my Dad was under attack with cancer (he and my Mom were diagnosed 5 days apart) so I pulled myself by the bootstraps and began the ritual all over again.

Dear Daddy entered into Glory on Feb. 10, 2000 and I was there for his send-off. How I wished I was able to peer into the Spiritual Realm as you and your family did , but I knew within what was happening even though I didn't actually see it with these eyes. I am a Christian who truly believe God's Word and promises to those who believe.

I ordered your sister's book last week, received it a few days later.....began reading it a 6:oo pm on Tuesday and was finished by 9:00 pm. It was as if I relived it all over again. So many things I read about your Mom reminded me of my Mom. LOL Trying to get her to eat and her snapping as us for trying to force her to. Watching her be so strong during the Chemo and radiation treatments so we wouldn't realize how much she was suffering. My Mom had the deepest dimples in the world and smile that could light up a sky at midnight. Whenever I walked into the door, sher'd flash me a smile knowing that's all I needed to see. I'd say, "Hi Toots" and she'd say, "Hi Sweet Sweet." I'd say, How do you feel Mom?" and she'd say, "Pretty good." She could have been feeling like poop and she'd still tell me pretty good. What a gem she was.

When I turned the page and saw your Mom, I felt the tears forming in my eyes. She reminded me so much of my precious Mom. Isn't it something?

I do appreciate you and your family taking the time to write the book. I told my sister about it and she wants to read it asap.

How I wish I could have seen what you did.

God Bless you and your family.

Toni .
